Internet Marketing Today

What do you believe is ethical in business? I have been searching for online business ethics, and it is hard to find.Is it ok to lie to a someone, just because you want them to buy a product? I had to ask myself these questions when I started looking into affiliate marketing as a career. Unfortunately, too many people out there think it is ok to lie to people since they never see them.  This type of business practice is why so many other online businesses don’t like affiliate marketers.   As I have read more about successful people, I learned that this is a common problem. I choose to follow my own standard of online business ethics. The Golden Rule is still the best way to go. Do for others what you … Read entire article »

I guess these people don’t like it because they do not know how to do it themselves. Funny thing is, this post talking about how it is unethical to make … Read entire article »

I was astonished when I saw what Google was up to with the eBook idea. I first heard about it at Matt Carter’s Blog. What are they doing? Being somewhat new into this field, I do not know yet how this will affect us. I really think it is targeting different traffic than what we go after as affiliates; however, it may be able to help. Here is why I think so 1, If they are marketing this, they may find a way to pay affiliates to promote it for them 2, AdSense sites will probably get to promote this new program. 3, they will also probably list AdSense on these so those of us in PPC will benefit from the traffic looking for those type of products. I do not think they will … Read entire article »

A lot of online business people will tell you to ignore all the freebie seekers. Don’t try to pull them in, cause it is a waste of time. There is a major flaw in this way of thinking. If you ignore all the freebie seekers, you are cutting yourself off of a lot of potential customers. When I started out trying to start my own business, I had no money to spend. I don’t mean a little. I stressed over the $ 10 a month for webhosting. My outgo was already higher than my income. That’s why I looked into an online business to start with.  It did not mean I saw no value in the products I was being offered, and if I had the money I would have bought … Read entire article »
